Team 18 to launch brave new era as Chevrolet homologation team
Team 18 to launch 2026 Supercars liveries on Tuesday, February 10
Anton De Pasquale, David Reynolds return to newly-appointed Chevrolet homologation team
Co-drivers James Courtney and Lee Holdsworth, wildcard Craig Lowndes will also appear
Team 18 have become the second team to confirm plans for their 2026 livery reveals ahead of next month's Repco Supercars Championship opener at the Sydney 500.
The Chevrolet Camaros piloted by Anton De Pasquale and David Reynolds will be unveiled on Tuesday February 10 at a private event in the team's workshop located in Mount Waverley, Melbourne.
Owned by Charlie Schwerkolt, Team 18 were announced as Chevrolet's new homologation partner on the eve of last year's ITM Taupō Super440 in April, replacing Ford-bound Triple Eight.
The team have already been fulfilling homologation duties, sending a car and staff to Windshear for aerodynamic parity testing in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
It shapes as a big year for the team, with De Pasquale returning off the back of multiple podiums and a Finals berth in his first season with the team, and Reynolds back for his third year at Team 18 after nearly stealing a last-gasp Bathurst win.
Craig Lowndes also joins the fold, driving a Supercheap Auto-backed wildcard in the Ryco Enduro Cup alongside a rising star, who is yet to be named. The seven-time Bathurst winner will also be on hand at the launch.
The enduro pairings for their full-time entries will also be announced, with the returning Lee Holdsowrth to be joined by new recruit and 2010 champion James Courtney.
"2026 marks a huge step for Team 18 as we officially become the Chevrolet homologation partner team. It’s a massive honour and responsibility for our organisation, and something we’re incredibly proud to take on," said Scwerkolt.
“The launch in February will be the first opportunity to show the direction we’re heading and to signal the start of an exciting new chapter for the team.
"There’s no better place to reveal our 2026 colours than at our Mount Waverley headquarters, surrounded by our people, our partners and the cars that will take us into this next era.
“With Anton and Dave back behind the wheel, and the ongoing support of our loyal partners, we’re determined to convert our efforts into results on track.
"I can’t wait for everyone to see the cars on the 10th of February and to share what’s ahead for Team 18 in 2026.”
Team 18 join Dick Johnson Racing (February 1) in confirming their livery launches for the upcoming season.
